I am using Lyx 1.4.2 in windows. I had used earlier Lyx 1.3.6 in Linux. In this older linux version, you can start an equation/equation array and say "\alpha" and the math symbol for "alpha" will appear. (assumed that you have the latex-xft fonts installed). I have used this feature extensively. In the windows version, this doesn't work. So, in LyX 1.4.2, is it a feature or a bug? Any ideas or work arounds ?
Strange. It works fine here. Repeat after me slowly :-) 1. insert->math->whatever 2. type \alpha followed by blank Do you see the real alpha? Bo
